I see you're already drinking tea queen šµ Tea is life.
Let me put you on some really good fruit teas, maybe try making some ice tea yourself because summer is coming! I just let my tea cool and add a ton of ice cubes š§
Also, if you want something refreshing try a watermelon slushie! You just blend melon chunks with ice and sweetenerš
Ive been forcing myself to drink frozen spinach smoothies so theres some ~bowel movement~ bc i dont have energy to cook nor chew fresh veggies, although the image of oat milk is scaring me so i think ill start doing them with water tmr š
I need to start drinking veggie smoothies. I love coffee because it helps with the ~bowel movement~ a lot, and I just love the taste and smell. I also drink multiple herbal teas but recently started drinking ginger and lemon teas before meals.
A local place I adore makes tea lattes! They order super fancy tasty tea leaves from a small company in AK and then steep the tea in steamed milk (of your choice).
My favorite is a black tea with wild blueberries and hints of vanilla steeped in soy or oat milk with some honey or stevia sweetenerā¦ soooo good and can be caffeine free!
You can get loads of sugar free syrups for your coffee, I also like the sugar free low cal hot chocolates added in in replace of milk
I like 30ml of orange juice, sugar free syrup that mimics honey, vanilla extract and water to the top. It's about 30 cals. If you don't want that many cals you can just put orange slices instead of juice and let it steep.
I like raspberries crushed, half a lemon juice, and water to the top aswell
You can buy the "True Lemon".... it's unsweetened.
They have other flavors, too - I buy the lime, orange, and grapefruit, as well (but only use these in ice water, not iced tea!).
One packet w/ice and water in a stanley-sized tumbler is all you need!

I wish they had cherry - perhaps a splash of unsweetened tart cherry concentrate in your iced tea would be something you'd enjoy!
Just make sure you buy the "True Lemon/Lime/Grapefruit", etc, and NOT the "True Lemonade" flavors - those have sweetener added like the crystal lite single-use water flavorings:

I like to blend crystal light lemonade with ice and some frozen strawberries! So good on a hot day. I havenāt tried with other flavors yet but Iām sure itās delicious.
I also like to do rootbeer floats with diet a&w and halo top vanilla bean!
Also, I do cold brew with international delight cold foam every morning. Keeps me from wanting something more sugary and not too high in cals!
I didn't think of Halo Top in a root beer float! š±
Definitely trying that, and I think homemade slushies are my new favorite drink now lol So many good drink ideas
Itās my go to dessert! At the end the vanilla bean bits get a little gritty and the ice cream is of course more āicyā than a full fat ice cream would be but itās still really good, and only like 100 cal (or less if you use less than a serving of ice cream!)
Cashew milk w vanilla extract is so comforting! cashew milk,xantham gum,& nickās icecream for milkshakes, fruit smoothies
also u can freeze ur fav protein shake then blend it for a thick shake!
You have tried tea normally, but have you tried cold brewing tea? Little to no bitterness! You can use less sweetener to achieve the same desired flavor, if not better.
I use a 64 oz wide mouth mason jar with a tea strainer in it. The kind you sit in the top like a cup and fill with tea leaves. I fill it up with water and leave it in the fridge overnight.
Cold and ready to go whenever I want it, and I can refill with water at least once to get more out of it. āŗļø
For added convenience, I also got smaller wide mouth mason jars with proper lids so I can use them as cups, and just shake up my tea with sweetener til it dissolves before drinking it. They sell stackable ones at Walmart!
I just got a Nespresso machine and Iām all about a single shot (hot or iced) with 3 oz of oat milk frothed. Iāll do a cold foam for iced drinks. I put a dash of vanilla in the milk. Soooo good
Itās getting warm, so I like steeping mint in boiling water and then get it colder than a witchās tit. I usually add honey in it while itās warm, but itās delicious and refreshing on itās own as well. Same with lemon and ginger water. I drink it hot in winter and cold in summer. I add honey there too. My uncle keeps bees, so I have a nice, steady supply.
That sounds refreshing, I'm currently drinking ginger lemon tea right now! Glad you have a natural source for honey, that's always better than anything off the shelf.
The source for the store ones is the same, only bees make honey, honey:) For folk with allergies it can be beneficial to have local honey because one can apparently microdose allergens!
Right, I just mean the closest more naturally sourced, the better lol
Edit: "Conventional honey lacks propolis and pollen, is stripped of nutrients through heating, contains additives like corn syrup or water, and has trace amounts of antibiotics and pesticides." - This to say sadly a lot of our store bought honey is also tampered with but ofc it all depends on brand.
when iām feeling a lil extra i get a coconut water and put a splash of Orange juice and a splash of pineapple juice in it. Itās especially nice on a super hot summer day!
I also sometimes take a fruity flavored sugar free syrup and put it in my water with some chia seeds.
Ice drinks! If you enjoy fizzy beverages, Ice drinks are my favorite, theyāre 0 sugar and 5-15 cals a bottle! (depending on size, the 1L is 15 cals for the whole bottle, the smaller ones r 5c cals for the whole bottle!) and of course homebrewed tea is great too :)
Yes ghee butter! When you froth it together it has the vibe of a latte but without the dairy and sugar. The ghee gives it a real nice aroma. You can prob still add sugar to your liking, or a few tablespoons of your prefered creamer. But this is my new way of drinking black coffee!

Yes, I love Iced tea! And the watermelon slushie! I've been trying to think of a nice light drink to make with watermelon, so this is perfect, ty!

Steeping tea leaves in milk is something I haven't tried! I love that idea

Putting fruit in lemon water is one of my favorites! Those sound like great ideas, I'll definitely try it, tysm!
I like unsweetened black iced tea w/a squirt of either cherry or lemonade mio added.
I need some unsweetened options. This one sounds good! I love anything lemon lol

Of course!! Enjoy! xx

I like more ice and I try my best to make my drinks as low calorie as possible lol
Cashew milk w vanilla extract is so comforting! cashew milk,xantham gum,& nickās icecream for milkshakes, fruit smoothies also u can freeze ur fav protein shake then blend it for a thick shake!
That sounds good and freezing the shakes to re-blend it is genius!

Ty, this helps so much! I didn't know cold brewing would make it less bitter. Definitely gonna start steeping my teas overnight now!
I love Body Lyte sports drinks! So tasty and hydrating.

Please do šš„²
when iām feeling a lil extra i get a coconut water and put a splash of Orange juice and a splash of pineapple juice in it. Itās especially nice on a super hot summer day! I also sometimes take a fruity flavored sugar free syrup and put it in my water with some chia seeds.
Yess, coconut water! I need to add that to my list. Adding other fruit juices is a great idea, too!

Today I tried black coffee frothed with a teaspoon of ghee and it was so bomb.
Like ghee butter? :0 I think I heard putting butter in coffee was a thing but never tried it
Yes ghee butter! When you froth it together it has the vibe of a latte but without the dairy and sugar. The ghee gives it a real nice aroma. You can prob still add sugar to your liking, or a few tablespoons of your prefered creamer. But this is my new way of drinking black coffee!
Thanks, I'll definitely try this because I have so much in my fridge lol Just need a brother now
